I am currently working on a textbook supplement that is almost complete. At the publisher's request, I will be talking with them later in the week about possible future projects. I am currently under a contract that is royalty only.
Based on any of your experience, should I try to negotiate something different, such as a flat-fee or an advance/royalty situation?
This project actually began in 2006, had a delay waiting on the authors of the textbook, has taken over a year to complete, will publish in 2009, so I will not see my first royalty check until 2010. I do not anticipate any future projects to be so riddled with delays, but you never know.
If you think I should also post this question in another section, please let me know.
